During the 2002 election campaign, Davis took the unusual step of taking out campaign ads during the Republican primaries questioning the conservative credentials of Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan. Davis theorized that, as a moderate, Riordan could be a more formidable challenger in the general election than a conservative candidate and sought to eliminate him in the primaries. The ads pointed out that Riordan held positions on issues such as gun control and abortion that were similar to Davis'. The ads even pointed out Riordan's undecided stance on the death penalty as being to the left of Gray Davis, who strongly supported it.

That's dirty? Pointing out of the principles of a candidate? I wish the GOP was only that dirty. And its true, Riordan is more moderate then most GOPers that's why I voted for him. Of course that was ten years ago. Since then, the GOP has gone further to the right making Republicans like Riordan even more an oddity.
